Conductor: Christoph von Dohnanyi. Composer: Antonin Dvorak. Audio CD (April 14, 1992). Number of Discs: 1. Label: Decca, London. Dvorak is capable of evoking in the unschooled listener's ears all four seasons, but especially Summer and Fall. It seems as though he was incapable of tossing off a symphony without at least one birdsong motif. The lushness of his lines brings one, as well, to autumnal sentiments, particularly when he sets himself down to writing an Adagio. This is the way of the Romanticist and Dvorak practically incarnates the type.
